The Department of Geography at California State University, Long Beach, 
is accepting Fall 2007 applications for its master's degree program 
until 25 June.  Our department has a strong program in the geospatial 
techniques, including GIS, remote sensing, cartography, and spatial 
statistics, which may appeal to advanced undergraduates who have 
recently realized they would like to go to graduate school this fall.  
We would very much appreciate your bringing our program to the attention 
of such students.  For more information about our graduate program and 
the application process, please download 
http://www.csulb.edu/geography/geomaf07.doc.  The department itself is 
described at http://www.csulb.edu/geography/ .

Our program is quite affordable, even for out-of-State students, and we 
also offer a limited number of student assistantships and internships, 
as well as a competitively awarded out-of-State surcharge waiver.  
Graduates of our program are nearly all employed in geography-related 
professional, managerial, and technical positions (94% of them), and 
four of our graduate alumni have been accepted into Ph.D. programs in 
the last two years.

Among our faculty is Suzanne Wechsler, who does work on uncertainty in 
digital elevation models and how it impacts parameters derived from 
them, such as flood estimation and non-point water pollution 
concentrations.  She is the author, with Charles Kroll of SUNY, of 
"Quantifying DEM uncertainty and its effect on topographic parameters," 
which appeared in Photogrammetric Engineering and Remote Sensing in late 
2006.  The American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing 
recently announced that it was the recipient of the 2007 ESRI Award for 
Best Scientific Paper in Geographical Information Systems.

Paul Laris works with remote sensing in an innovating triangulation of 
Landsat imagery and on-the-ground interviewing and participant 
observation of firesetting decision-making in Mali's savannas.  A recent 
article of his, "Managing a burned mosaic: A landscape-scale human 
ecological model of savanna fires," has appeared in Linking People with 
Nature: Lessons from Savannas and Dry Forests, ed. Jayalaxshmi Mistry 
and Andrea Berardi. Aldershot, UK: Ashgate, 2006.

Frank Gossette does GIS work in urban planning and economic geography 
contexts.  With one of our recent graduate alumnae, Valerie Müller, he 
published "Satellites, Census, and the quality of life," in Geo-Spatial 
Technologies in Urban Environments, ed. R.J. Jensen, J. Gatrell, and D. 
McLean. Heidelberg, Germany: Springer-Verlag, 2005.

James Woods is a cartographer interested in wildfire mapping.  He 
manages our GIS, cartography, and remote sensing labs.  With Roger Peng 
and Frederick Paik, he is the author of "A space-time conditional 
intensity model for evaluating a wildfire hazard index" in the Journal 
of the American Statistical Association, March, 2005.

Christopher Lee works with remote sensing in geomorphological and 
biogeographical applications.  He brought a NASA Regional Earth Science 
Applications Center to our department, with all its imagery and 
equipment.  He is presently co-ordinating two educational programs that 
train students in intelligence applications of GIS and remote sensing.

Thank you for your time.  I apologize if you get more than one copy of
